Quote by Ellen Barkin
The way Hollywood portrays mothers - youre either all good and sai

The way Hollywood portrays mothers – youre either all good and saint-like, or youre all bad. And I think the real honesty of motherhood is not given a voice in movies. I miss that as an audience member. – Ellen Barkin

Other quotes by Ellen Barkin

But one of the hardest things for me to do was to access anger. I could do it on stage. But when I did it on film it was hard for me. That probably has to do with the intimacy of film. And my own personal issues with expressing anger. So I had to learn how to do that. – Ellen Barkin
